It was the year 2046. In the distant and faraway planet or Yr lived a lonely alien named Ickapoo. It had no friends as all its species had been vanquished from a meteor storm. In its solitude and misery it pined for a companion.
Yr was a bare and inhospitable planet. With winds blowing at 150 km an hour, it was virtually impossible to see past the blizzard and storm. Ickapoo yearned for friends and company. Many a time he fiddled with his transistor radio, sending out messages and hoping for a response. He sent fire launchers and rockets into space, hoping that some space traveler would find out about his existence. Ickapoo was an alienated alien. In the same way humans wondered whether we were the only species to inhabit the universe, Ickapoo felt estranged and isolated from the rest of the cosmos.  Join Ickapoo on his escapades across galaxies and worlds in search of company.

Ickapoo the lonely Alien, 2046

Ickapoo's journey to community is redemptive, because he is Noble rather than Savage, a rare gem and diamond amidst vast masses of dead soil, mud, ground.


There are many images of redemption amidst the hell of war-“Saw God through the mud”, “merry to laugh” “Dropped off fear” “Faces that curse are seraphic” “Perceived much beauty”


	Through these images we are falsely led to believe that war is initially redemptive. For instance the poet thinks he experiences divine experiences such as witnessing God through the mud, and the sharing merry companionship and camaraderie with his fellow soldiers, and overcoming fear through the companionship.


	Even the faces that curse are seraphic, suggesting that there are angels during wartime and even though the experience is hellish these soldiers are raised to angelic status. Also the poet states there is beauty even amidst the suffering as he perceived much beauty.


War, famine destroys
